Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC)
In August 2016, the ARL began partnering with the Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) on their Mobile Food Pantry, which provides weekly food distributions at targeted areas throughout Des Moines. The ARL recognizes that where humans are struggling, there are likely pets struggling as well; and in some cases, people will feed their pets before feeding themselves. This partnership takes a comprehensive approach by providing free pet food to DMARC clients via the Mobile Food Pantry and by distributing the food at locations where clients can access additional services/supports, such as the local YMCA. In addition to sharing pet food, our outreach team uses this opportunity to connect households with other free or low-cost resources for their pet, which they might otherwise not be aware of or be able to access.
